For a year the tide had ebbed1 and flowed on the Dedlow Marsh3 unheeded before the sealed and sightless windows of the "Kingfisher's Nest." Since the young birds had flown to Logport, even the Indian caretakers had abandoned the piled dwelling4 for their old nomadic5 haunts in the "bresh." The high spring tide had again made its annual visit to the little cemetery6 of drift-wood, and, as if recognizing another wreck7 in the deserted8 home, had hung a few memorial offerings on the blackened piles, softly laid a garland of grayish drift before it, and then sobbed9 itself out in the salt grass.
From time to time the faint echoes of the Culpeppers' life at Logport reached the upland, and the few neighbors who had only known them by hearsay10 shook their heads over the extravagance they as yet only knew by report. But it was in the dead ebb2 of the tide and the waning11 daylight that the feathered tenants12 of the Marsh seemed to voice dismal13 prophecies of the ruin of their old master and mistress, and to give themselves up to gloomiest lamentation
